The Shifta scheduling calendar

Across Switzerland, they trust us

Before, it was sheets of paper pinned behind a door. Now the staff organise themselves and swap their shifts. For me, it means far fewer hours spent on schedules.

Scheduling

A simple, visual schedule

You see at a glance who is available each day, for styling, colour and the front desk. Drag a shift from one day to another or from one person to another, then publish: the whole team gets the schedule.

Absences & swaps

Holidays and swaps, as requests

A holiday request lists the shifts already planned on those days; a swap flags a double booking or approved leave. You decide with the week in front of you.

Time clock

The salon's time clock

A tablet at the front desk: everyone types their four-digit code when they arrive, before a break and when they leave. The hours land in Attendance on their own, next to the schedule.

Balances

Everyone's balances, part-time included

Shifta works out everyone's balance of hours, holidays, public holidays and rest days automatically, part-time included. No more adding it up by hand at the end of the month.

Mobile apps

The schedule on everyone's phone

When you publish, everyone gets a notification and sees their hours in the iOS or Android app. A busy Saturday to staff up? Post an open shift: whoever is free claims it, and you confirm.

Why Shifta

You shouldn't pay for software you only half use.

Most scheduling tools are built for chains, with menus no small team ever opens. Shifta is built in Switzerland for small teams: the essentials, done properly, in your language.

01

Only what you need

Every feature earns its place on the screen. Standard to schedule, Pro when your team needs everything else.

02

Anchored in Switzerland

Prices in CHF, the app in English, French and German, your data hosted in the EU. Built around how Swiss SMEs actually work.

03

Responsive, local support

Write to us and the team that builds Shifta, here in Switzerland, answers, usually the same day. Your feedback shapes the product directly.

FAQ

Salon scheduling questions

Common questions about scheduling your team with Shifta. Can't find what you're after? We're happy to help.

Can stylists see their shifts on their phone?

Yes. Everyone sees their week in the iOS or Android app and gets a push notification the moment a schedule is published or changed.

How do holidays and absences work?

Time off is requested in the app and you approve it with the whole week in view, so cover is arranged before it becomes a problem.

Can the team enter availability?

Yes. Everyone enters when they cannot work before you plan, which makes part-time weeks much easier to build.

Does Shifta track worked hours?

Everyone logs their hours in the app, and they appear next to the planned hours, with an estimated gross figure per person for payroll.

Can I try Shifta for free?

Yes, for 14 days, with every Pro feature and no credit card. After that, Standard covers scheduling for a single salon of up to ten people at CHF 29.90 per month, and Pro adds time tracking, analytics and several salons for CHF 39.90.
